NYC House Party in Mt Roskill

Aroha ’17 Festival of Ideas


Wednesday 22 – Thursday 23 February, 7pm 2017

Mika Haka Studio  111B May Road, Mount Roskill

“It is what it is, and it ain’t what it ain’t.”

Experience the underground and non-conformist alternative performance styles of New York and Auckland.  Original works, spoken truths and political questioning for exploring minds, with voguing and breaking on vinyl floors among the wrecked cars.  Check it.

Direct from Harlem, New York City, cyber-soul artist GypjaQ is our Master of Ceremonies, bringing LOVE and UNITY to Puketāpapa Mt Roskill.

Supporting the vibes: spoken word revealing dark truths from Jasper Powell; mōteatea by Mokoera Te Amo; boundary-smashing raw honesty from actor and poet Liam Jacobson; and world champion beat-boxer King Home Boy.

With food from Lance’s Kitchen, an outdoor DJ, makeshift lounges and mannequin wastelands.  Drop your baggage and come as your authentic self.
